I've added the comment below in the patch summarizing my interpretation
of the DUMB license:

;; The DUMB license is a bit peculiar.
;; Clause 8 states that clauses 4, 5 and 6 are null and void, leaving only
;; the first three clauses for genuine consideration.
;; Clauses 1, 2 and 3 are analogous to clauses 1, 2 and 3 of the zlib
;; license, a known free software license.
;; Therefore, the DUMB license may be considered a free software license.

What do you think?
